Years ago, I had a paper route, delivering the San Diego Union-Tribune.
I was an independent contractor, and not an employee of the paper.
I’ve heard that this bill will also affect people such as newspaper delivery people. Yes there are still a lot of people who read an actual printed newspaper and get it delivered. Although nowadays, the paper is delivered by adults driving vans or trucks, not by a neighborhood kid on a bicycle or wagon.
I go on early morning walks while the paper people are delivering in my neighborhood. I never see anybody walking the routes. It is not practical if delivery is to every 4th or 5th house. When the weather is nice enough, carriers actually do use bikes and scooters.
Don’t forget Independent trucker, Barbers, Hair Salons, ... the list is endless. But we will do whatever is Necessary to make sure as many people as possible DEPEND on Gubmint by DESTROYING THEIR JOBS!!!
